From the museum record

Gabriel de Saint-Aubin was known for his distinctively sketchy style and interest in depicting performances such as dance and theater, the subjects seen here. The artist developed a distinctive composite style of sketching, and this work exemplifies his practice of covering both sides of a sheet of paper with diverse images in varying media.

Lupin’s visual index

A monochromatic pencil sketch depicts a group of seated figures listening intently to a man standing before them in a room with architectural details.
